President Donald Trump appears to have changed his story about a 2016 meeting at Trump Tower that is pivotal to the special counsel's investigation, tweeting that his son met with a Kremlin-connected lawyer to collect information about his political opponent.
[...] That is a far different explanation than Trump gave 13 months ago, when a statement dictated by the president but released under the name of Donald Trump Jr., read: "We primarily discussed a program about the adoption of Russian children that was active and popular with American families years ago."

Think about why it is unsurprising that:
Yeah, maybe you should try to argue in good faith? Or maybe, along the lines of Wikipedia's editing guidelines, you should "assume good faith" in your opponents.
From the other side of the fence, I feel much the same about many leftists. There are two kinds, the dumb masses and the pure evil. The dumb masses really believe that leftist shit. The pure evil ones, generally those with more power and intellect, are taking the gamble that somehow they will not be among the starving masses when the shit hits the fan.
I think the trouble here is that you have based your whole worldview on a defective ideology. It isn't easy to take the red pill and #WalkAway when all your identity is ctrl-left and you know with 100% certainty that your "friends" will instantly be hostile if you dare to question the narrative or even fail to participate in the hate sessions.
I am surrounded by conservatives. I could claim to miss Obama or have voted for Hillary, and my safety would not be jeopardized. It's different for people in ctrl-left enclaves like San Francisco, you know it, and you know this is wrong. You're on the side of wrongness, and you know it, but you can never admit it.

You can't ask for good faith and then libel "leftists", unless you are a hypocrite.
Left [google.com.au] doesn't mean the same thing in every country. The US seems to have "centre/a bit right" and "right/far right".

At least here in the USA, libel involves facts that are false. I stated nothing that was false.
Your diagram is libel. Conservative families are based on fear??? Leftists somehow want a "level playing field"... we're ignoring that EVEN TODAY there are leftist institutions like Harvard that are discriminating against Asians???

Git trolled son! Git gud! May your brain forever be pickled in the sweet fermented corn syrup of your homeland, may your soul rise above the swamp it spawned in, and if nothing else get your GED?

Florida grows oranges, not corn. I'm a swing state voter. :-)
I was however spawned out in a dry part of California, not the swamp.
I happen to have a useful BS degree, which is damn common with practical people. Leftists are more extreme, with more drop-outs and more PhDs... with those PhDs usually being worthless shit like gender studies and sociology. I'm getting about $165,000/year (with typical bonus), which would be like $300,000/year in urban leftist shitholes, and I don't have to step over syringes or human turds on my walk to work.
Also, I didn't abort my kids. I made a huge family. If my kind of people lose out, it can only be to the muslims you foolishly import. Your kind doesn't reproduce. You are also less likely to survive when civilization collapses. If you ever fully get political control, you'll die: Pol Pot and Mao emptied the cities, sending intellectuals out to do hard labor and die. Chavez and Mugabe caused shortages that led to starvation.

On the issues Americans aren't much further right than anyone else... they just have a waaaay too consolidated media, and a "left" party that fights progressives HARD, and will even ally themselves with the GOP to suppress them. These sociopathic bastards would rather shout about Trump/Russia (which polls have shown the electorate doesn't care much about), than admit they lost to Trump because they cheated Bernie and elevated Trump in the hope he was the one candidate she was capable of beating.
